这个答案是基于Mitja Semolic之前出色的回答。我已经将它转换为swift 3，添加了一个解释，在评论中发生了什么，使它成为一个UIViewController的扩展，这样任何VC都可以随意调用它，添加了一个未模糊的视图来显示选择性应用，并添加了一个完成块，以便调用视图控制器可以在完成模糊时做任何它想做的事情。

    import UIKit
//This extension implements a blur to the entire screen, puts up a HUD and then waits and dismisses the view.
    extension UIViewController {
        func blurAndShowHUD(duration: Double, message: String, completion: @escaping () -> Void) { //with completion block
            //1. Create the blur effect & the view it will occupy
            let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: UIBlurEffectStyle.light)
            let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView()//(effect: blurEffect)
            blurEffectView.frame = self.view.bounds
            blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]

        //2. Add the effect view to the main view
            self.view.addSubview(blurEffectView)
        //3. Create the hud and add it to the main view
        let hud = HudView.getHUD(view: self.view, withMessage: message)
        self.view.addSubview(hud)
        //4. Begin applying the blur effect to the effect view
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.01, animations: {
            blurEffectView.effect = blurEffect
        })
        //5. Halt the blur effects application to achieve the desired blur radius
        self.view.pauseAnimationsInThisView(delay: 0.004)
        //6. Remove the view (& the HUD) after the completion of the duration
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + duration) {
            blurEffectView.removeFromSuperview()
            hud.removeFromSuperview()
            self.view.resumeAnimationsInThisView()
            completion()
        }
    }
}

extension UIView {
    public func pauseAnimationsInThisView(delay: Double) {
        let time = delay + CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()
        let timer = CFRunLoopTimerCreateWithHandler(kCFAllocatorDefault, time, 0, 0, 0, { timer in
            let layer = self.layer
            let pausedTime = layer.convertTime(CACurrentMediaTime(), from: nil)
            layer.speed = 0.0
            layer.timeOffset = pausedTime
        })
        CFRunLoopAddTimer(CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), timer, CFRunLoopMode.commonModes)
    }
    public func resumeAnimationsInThisView() {
        let pausedTime  = layer.timeOffset

        layer.speed = 1.0
        layer.timeOffset = 0.0
        layer.beginTime = layer.convertTime(CACurrentMediaTime(), from: nil) - pausedTime
    }
}

我已经确认它适用于iOS 10.3.1和iOS 11

核心形象

由于截图中的图像是静态的，你可以使用Core image中的CIGaussianBlur(需要iOS 6)。以下是示例:https://github.com/evanwdavis/Fun-with-Masks/blob/master/Fun%20with%20Masks/EWDBlurExampleVC.m

注意，这比本页上的其他选项要慢。

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

{   
    // ***********If you need re-orienting (e.g. trying to blur a photo taken from the device camera front facing camera in portrait mode)

    // create our blurred image
    CIContext *context = [CIContext contextWithOptions:nil];
    CIImage *inputImage = [CIImage imageWithCGImage:theImage.CGImage];

    // setting up Gaussian Blur (we could use one of many filters offered by Core Image)

    [filter setValue:inputImage forKey:kCIInputImageKey];
    [filter setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:15.0f] forKey:@"inputRadius"];
    CIImage *result = [filter valueForKey:kCIOutputImageKey];

    // CIGaussianBlur has a tendency to shrink the image a little, 
    // this ensures it matches up exactly to the bounds of our original image
    CGImageRef cgImage = [context createCGImage:result fromRect:[inputImage extent]];

    UIImage *returnImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgImage];//create a UIImage for this function to "return" so that ARC can manage the memory of the blur... ARC can't manage CGImageRefs so we need to release it before this function "returns" and ends.
    CGImageRelease(cgImage);//release CGImageRef because ARC doesn't manage this on its own.

    return returnImage;

    // *************** if you need scaling
    // return [[self class] scaleIfNeeded:cgImage];

    if (isRetina) {

    } else {
        return [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgimg];

            case UIImageOrientationUpMirrored:

叠加模糊(方块+高斯)

这实现了盒子和高斯模糊的混合。比非加速高斯快7倍，但不像盒子模糊那么难看。请在这里(Java插件版本)或这里(JavaScript版本)查看演示。该算法用于KDE和Camera+等。它不使用加速框架，但速度很快。

加速框架

In the session “Implementing Engaging UI on iOS” from WWDC 2013 Apple explains how to create a blurred background (at 14:30), and mentions a method applyLightEffect implemented in the sample code using Accelerate.framework. GPUImage uses OpenGL shaders to create dynamic blurs. It has several types of blur: GPUImageBoxBlurFilter, GPUImageFastBlurFilter, GaussianSelectiveBlur, GPUImageGaussianBlurFilter. There is even a GPUImageiOSBlurFilter that “should fully replicate the blur effect provided by iOS 7's control panel” (tweet, article). The article is detailed and informative.

    -(UIImage *)blurryGPUImage:(UIImage *)image withBlurLevel:(NSInteger)blur {
        GPUImageFastBlurFilter *blurFilter = [GPUImageFastBlurFilter new];
        blurFilter.blurSize = blur;
        UIImage *result = [blurFilter imageByFilteringImage:image];
        return result;
    }

From indieambitions.com: Perform a blur using vImage. The algorithm is also used in iOS-RealTimeBlur. From Nick Lockwood: https://github.com/nicklockwood/FXBlurView The example shows the blur over a scroll view. It blurs with dispatch_async, then syncs to call updates with UITrackingRunLoopMode so the blur is not lagged when UIKit gives more priority to the scroll of the UIScrollView. This is explained in Nick's book iOS Core Animation, which btw it's great. iOS-blur This takes the blurring layer of the UIToolbar and puts it elsewhere. Apple will reject your app if you use this method. See https://github.com/mochidev/MDBlurView/issues/4 From Evadne blog: LiveFrost: Fast, Synchronous UIView Snapshot Convolving. Great code and a great read. Some ideas from this post: Use a serial queue to throttle updates from CADisplayLink. Reuse bitmap contexts unless bounds change. Draw smaller images using -[CALayer renderInContext:] with a 0.5f scale factor.

其他东西

安迪·马图斯查克在推特上说:“你知道，在很多地方，我们看起来是实时的，但它是静态的，用的是聪明的技巧。”

在doubleencore.com网站上，他们说:“我们发现，在大多数情况下，10点模糊半径加上10点饱和度的增加最能模拟iOS 7的模糊效果。”

苹果sbfproceuralwallpaperview的私有头文件。

最后，这不是一个真正的模糊，但记住你可以设置rasterizationScale来获得一个像素化的图像:http://www.dimzzy.com/blog/2010/11/blur-effect-for-uiview/

苹果为UIImage类提供了一个名为UIImage+ImageEffects.h的扩展。在这个类中，您可以使用所需的方法来模糊视图

Swift 3版本的凯文的答案返回模糊的图像-

func blurBgImage(image: UIImage) -> UIImage? {
        let radius: CGFloat = 20;
        let context = CIContext(options: nil);
        let inputImage = CIImage(cgImage: image.cgImage!);
        let filter = CIFilter(name: "CIGaussianBlur");
        filter?.setValue(inputImage, forKey: kCIInputImageKey);
        filter?.setValue("\(radius)", forKey:kCIInputRadiusKey);

        if let result = filter?.value(forKey: kCIOutputImageKey) as? CIImage{

            let rect = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: radius * 2,y :radius * 2), size: CGSize(width: image.size.width - radius * 4, height: image.size.height - radius * 4))

            if let cgImage = context.createCGImage(result, from: rect){
                return UIImage(cgImage: cgImage);
                }
        }
        return nil;
    }

我决定发布一个书面的Objective-C版本，从接受的答案只是在这个问题上提供更多的选项。

如果你想要，如果你只支持纵向模式，或者我只是在这个函数中添加了一个标志来使用它们，可以删除这些限制。
